and after repeated exposure to the soundtrack, I found myself learning a little French, and also noticing that when the people got excited, there would be sounds in their speech which I didn't particularly associate with French, but when they spoke with any degree of calmness, their French was as she is spoke in France. No matter how amusing or sad or whatever they were, they spoke perfect French--except when they got very excited or angry. So I think the chances that your non-English speaking friends who travelled in France would speak French as well as any Frenchman, unless they were trying to say "F**k you!" (Many Americans know this expression in French; I could not make head not tail of the soundtrack that was thus translated!)
